Gents 1954 Omega Bumper Automatic Wristwatch

Gents 1954 Omega bumper automatic wrist watch.

The watch has a calibre 344 bumper automatic movement. Early automatic watches relied on the rotor ‘bumping’ backwards and forwards between two springs to maintain the power within the movement. Later automatic watches have the fully rotational rotor. The movement is signed with the Omega name and it has the serial number 14,112,208 which dates it back to 1954.

The watch measures 32mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 10k gold filled and it is in good condition for its age with just the odd mark. The inside of the case back has the Omega triangular stamp together with the case reference F6262 which is correct for the calibre 344 movement.

The lens is in good condition.

The black dial is in its original finish… there is some freckling which shows at certain angles. Original dauphine shaped hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

A new black leather strap has been fitted.
